Fedora Hardware :: Invalid GART PTE Entry During Table Walk?
Aug 24, 2010
I keep getting the following errors on any terminal sessions I have open:
Code:
Message from syslogd@zzzzz at Aug 24 14:55:55 ...
kernel: Northbridge Error, node 0
Message from syslogd@zzzzz at Aug 24 14:55:55 ...
kernel:Invalid GART PTE entry during table walk.
Nothing appears to actually be failing and my searches on the Internet imply that this may actually not be a problem at all but rather an OS issue. Can anyone provide a definitive answer?
When I boot from my new Fedora15 LiveCD I get this on startup:
Code: Pointer to BIT loadval table invalid. Everything appears to be working pretty normally other than the fact that the error came up on the screen. Is this going to be a major problem? Is there some kind of fix or patch that I can apply?
i'm trying to transition. Mainly because I'm starting to hate windows... Anyways, I have a 4GB PNY attache. Just recently, I downloaded the live usb creator, and downloaded all the components for a live usb running version 12 of Fedora. I noticed that, after completion of the download, the components written to my USB seemed far too few. At the time, my USB contained the following:
a boot folder, with olpc.fth a folder entitled EFI containing another boot folder, with the second folder holding various files. and then a 16KB file entitled GPL.when I tried to boot the live USB, nothing came up and it booted XP just like normal. afterwards, I rebooted it, taking care to check the defaults on my BIOS settings. It says that it enables booting of live USBs, so I have no real reason to question the defaults.
I have just installed the newest Debian Stable 7.8 release on my new notebook. Before installation I had to free some disk space from the preinstalled Windows7 with ntfsresize and fdisk. In addition to the existing three primary partitions I created an extended one with three logical partitions for /(root) /home and swap, see the output of 'fdisk -lu'
For some reason I put a bootable flag on sda7, and the only small concern during installation was that some BIOS systems might not work with boot-flag no logical drives. Now, every time I boot I get this "Invalid partition table!' message which I must 'enter" away before I get to the GRUB menu.
I installed openSUSE on a XP runnng computer and every thing is OK.When I tried to Install a new XP, I got this error:Code:Invalid Partition Table I fixed it by reinstalling GRUB using Rescue System.I tried fix mbr on XP Repair System and I got that error again.Now I want to keep XP and remove openSUSE. But computer only boots by GRUB and XP's boot loader is unable to boot and shows that error
I had a RAID controller in a system that would not load Virtuozzo. So I deleted the array created by the 3Ware 9550SX controller before removing it and one drive from the CentOS 4.8 server. Even though I deleted the array when the server boots it shows an error:
ERROR : asr : invalid RAID config table
How can I clear and remove the table without having to reload the OS? Can I? Di I need to run the Seagate Tools and reset the drive?
I migrated from Ubuntu 14.10 some weeks ago and I've been playing with Debian Jessie RC2 these days. Everything is working right... however when debian is starting I get some error messages from nouveau, I've just run dmesg and here is the output [URL] ....
I'm getting some lines like this :
Code: Select all[ 8.933681] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:08:00.0] BOOT0 : 0x0e7240a2 [ 8.933682] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:08:00.0] Chipset: GK107 (NVE7) [ 8.933683] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:08:00.0] Family : NVE0 [ 8.948205] nouveau [ VBIOS][0000:08:00.0] using image from ACPI [ 8.948513] nouveau [ VBIOS][0000:08:00.0] BIT signature found

There is any explanation for these "write of ___________ FAULT at ________" messages?
I was installing opensuse 11.2 in parallel with windows xp.but during installation suddenly power has gone and after that opensuse is giving me the error message corrupt partition.i am also not able to login in xp. so I decide to reinstall windows, I got the error saying "invalid partition table" after the first restart of windows xp installation.
I tried to use windows system recovery console and committing fixmbr and fixboot commands, but didn't work. i have 2 window partition(1 for windows and 1 for data).i do,nt want to format 2,nd partition.
How can I installed windows?My plan was first to install windows xp, then opensuse again.
I was reading another thread about someone with a bad partition table and I decided to join this forum. I'm not going to take any drastic actions with the partition (/dev/sda3) in question. I am going to wait for instructions on what to do first. I am not very good with Linux and need some hand holding. System: DELL 4550 Dual-Booted with XP and Ubuntu. Works OK, just no swap. Well, here's what I did: I deleted a partition for Windows XP Pro because it was a trial, and it ran out. I then decided to slide the swap partition for the Ubuntu Linux that I dual-boot into over. (If this was successful, I was going to try expanding the root partition to take up the unused space.) I used Gparted on a CD to do this, as I figured it was safe to do.
I now cannot mount the swap space at bootup (and have to go into a backup version of the OS), although I can use Gparted in Linux to execute the "swapon" command, and it appears that it worked because I now see "swapoff" as an option on the context menu. (I actually don't even need a swap partition, except to hibernate.) If I highlight the swap partition and click on "Drive" on Gparted's menu bar and select "Create Partition Table", it will erase all data on /dev/sda, so how do I fix the bad partition table non-destructively?
I'm trying to clone a Linux install to a different laptop. It's made a little complicated by two facts:
1) The 'new' laptop I'm trying to copy my Linux installation to is actually older and has a smaller hard drive then the computer I'm copying from
2) The computer I'm copying from has both a windows and Linux installation; I only care about the Linux partition.
I figured I would copy only the Linux partition from my primary computer to the laptop, sense the laptop doesn't have a large enough hard drive to copy everything. So I used the DD commands to copy SDA3 (main Linux partition) from my main computer to SDA2 of my laptop. When I came back a few hours later I was surprise to find my laptop trying to reboot itself (I never turned it off). It would keep starting to reboot, failing, and restarting itself. Not too surprising sense its boot partition wasn't changed so it's trying to boot into centos when I copied a redhat partition to it.
The problem is that when I used a redhat boot disk the rescue mode was unable to find a Linux partition to mount. /dev/sda2 exists, but trying to mount it gets the complaint "No such file or directory". "fdisk -l" lists sda1 (the boot sector) and sda2. Sda2 is the correct size and reports Linux LVM for its system. But "fdisk -l /dev/sda2" gives the error message "Disk /dev/sda2 doesn't contain a valid partition table" Did I not clone the drive correctly, or was an error caused due to the boot sector not being copied yet (the laptops boot sector is smaller then my old computers, so I can't copy from old computer to laptop)? Can I salvage the laptops partition table somehow, or do I have to repeat the cloning process? And if I do have to re-clone my computer can anyone tell me what I did wrong the first time so it works this time? I don't care if I copy just the Linux partition or both windows and Linux. Even though my main computer has a larger hard drive I'm only using about half of its available space so it should be possible to copy both partitions if I could ignore the unused sections of the harddrive.
Edit: I used DD to copy a tiny part of the Linux partition from my laptop so I could look at it. Most of it is illegible binary of course, but I scrolled through till I found some text right near the beginning:
Code:
VolGroup00 { id="F2MWxh-....-BidcLe" seqno = 1
[code]....
So it seems that the DD command did copy everything over to the laptop, which is good to know. I noticed that it says device="/dev/sda3" right in the middle of the code I just posted. The Linux section of my original computer was SDA3 but I copied it to partition SDA2 of my laptop. So is the problem because the boot partition is for the wrong device? I don't suppose if I modified that one line to say SDA2 it would be able to load correctly? (Not that I know how I would modify the line, short of using the DD command again).
I've read many threads, but still stacked in the problem. Here's my system so far: a new install of ubuntu 9.10, on an asus eee pc, and my t-mobile usb stick (which works with ubuntu 8 on my other machine)

I installed Ubuntu as shown in the wiki and when I went to restart it gave me a lovely blinking cursor and nothing else. So I held down option, loaded into osx, reinstalled rEFIt and got my menu on startup. Unfortunately, the partition sync tool doesn't seam to be working, it gives me an error: Status: MBR partition table is invalid, partitions overlap. Error: Not Found returned from gptsync.efi

I installed Debian 5.03 Lenny successfully on my machine. I got this error during boot: ACPI : invalid PBLK length [5]. After that the Operating System boots properly and starts normally. What does this error statement mean? Is it safe to work with this installation despite this error?
Trying simply to insert into table. Have succeeded in doing this but now want to correct user use of invalid characters. If I'm understanding correctly, Real-escape-string seems to correct these, so I've been trying to figure out how to use it. A short, test code version gives me a syntax error at INSERT VALUES, which--because it still has the single quotes in the text--tells me the real-escape-string didn't work. The code below gives me a parseing error with invalid $END at </body>.
Insert Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' VALUES (UTC_TIMESTAMP,'What's happen' bra?')' at line 1 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/powere15/public_html/DB/exercises_insert_record.php on line 94 <html><head><title>Exercise Catalog Insert Record</title></head> <body> <? /* Change db and connect values if using online */ [Code]....
We purchased a virtual server from GoDaddy (1 month trial) to set up as a proxy for our networks (24 of them). I am having 2 separate issues. The first is I can't configure/install NAT and support is telling me the only way I can is to purchase a dedicated server. Here's the error:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Here's the fix: [URL] So, what I am hoping to do is configure this by just opening port 3128 directly, and only allowing access from our networks. As a test I did this and allowed only from our office and it did not work. However I can't connect, so I am wondering what I am doing wrong? Here's my squid configuration:
I was trying to find documentation on how to add an a new object into openldap, however I can not seam to find a good walk through.
Just so everyone knows what I'm trying to do, I need to add a new object called bannerid, this bannerid is a unique id that will help me find student accounts in my openldap directly much quicker.
Is there a difference between using GPT partition table when formating hard drives and MS-DOS partition table? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using either?
There are times that I would like to open an app as root user without having to use the command line in order to do that. I learned of a nice app in the Fedora repos called beesu and I will show you how to set up a menu entry to be able to use this nice app.
From man beesu:
Code:
See man beesu for more information.
Beesu can be installed in Fedora with the following command:
Code:
IMPORTANT: Beesu must be installed in order to successfully complete this tutorial.
You can use beesu from the command line with the following example:
Code:
This will open gedit as root user after the correct root password has been entered into the password prompt. This is great. However, I'd like to open an app as root user without having to use the command line or alt+f2 run box. So, I wrote a small bash script that uses zenity to prompt the user for an app to open as well as the root password.
Copy the following code into a new text file and name it mybeesu.sh.
Code:
You need to change the /path/to bit in step 4 "Command" to reflect the path to which you saved the mybeesu.sh script. Click the OK button to save the new menu item.
Now, when you click the new menu item from the gnome menu, a zenity window will open asking which app you want to open. After that, a second window will open prompting you for the root password. If all goes well, and you entered the correct root password, your desired app should open as if you used su -c 'foo' to launch it.
I installed centos 5 in my PC. When it come to boot loader section I choose another partition (boot) not master boot record. After installing successfully when I restart my PC it is not showing grub it is going stright away to windows. I have also installed window xp. How to add grub entry in mbr.
I want to avoid kernel id in Grub entry. I have searched before and one poster (can't find it again) posted a very simple Fedora Grub entry that just pointed to Fedoara's menu.lst. which worked.
For Suse I use: title openSUSE 11.1 (on /dev/sda7) by symlinks root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31a initrd /boot/initrd savedefault boot
I nave tried: title Fedora root (hd0,4) rootnoverify (hd0,4) chainloader +1
Where Fedora is on sda5 but, doesn't work for some reason.
Lately when Fedora 12 updates the kernel it defaults to the last kernel entry and not the newest one. However I set grub to boot entry 0 as the default which is allways the new kernel. It runs like this fine until the kernel updates then it seems to change from 0 to 1 on its own is this a new planned aspect of the new kernel being installed?
I'm using Fedora 12 with Gnome and I have a slight problem with my places menu. I have entries in the list that I would like to remove, but cannot figure out how. I multiboot Fedora with Windows 7 and windows 98. My Places menus looks something like this:
Places Code: Home Folder Desktop Music .....
Now, if you notice there are 2 entries for both my 'Storage' and 'Windows 98' partitions. On of them will actually open up a window showing the contents of the partition, the other displays an error which basically says "Unable to mount, drive is already mounted". Right clicking on the entry has the same effect as left clicking, it just brings up the error message. They do not appear in the Bookmarks menu.
I just install F-prot software on my Fedora 13. The following entry was added to /etc/crontab16 * * * * <user> /home/<user>/Desktop/f-prot/fpupdate > /dev/null.I tried to use "crontab -e" or "-l" but unable to edit the crontab.
